Comparatively speaking, the story of Nakaki Yahime is even more known to women and children in Japan.

In Japan in the 10th century, the emperor was particularly fond of a changing clothes who lived in the Tonghu Temple, which had a deep relationship with the Emperor Tonghu and gave birth to a small prince with extraordinary appearance and unparalleled in the world-Guangjun.

When Guangjun was three years old, Tonghu changed clothes and died. The following year, the crown prince was canonized, and Emperor Tonghu originally wanted to establish Guangjun as the prince, but considering that Guangjun lacked a strong relative as a supporter, it was unfavorable to the imperial court after ascending the throne, so the eldest prince born to the daughter of the right minister, Honghui Palace, was the prince, that is, the "Vermilion Bird Emperor" in later generations.

Guangjun went to school at the age of seven, and Emperor Tonghu saw that Guangjun was talented and versatile, and thought that he could become an important minister to assist the imperial court, so he demoted Guangjun to a vassal and gave him the surname Genji.

Moreover, in the early years, there was a fateful person who said that Genji would have three sons, one was the emperor, one was the empress, and one was a minister.

Therefore, when Genji was nine years old, Emperor Tonghu married the four princesses of the first emperor, and after entering the palace, she was called "Barnacle Female Emperor". The barnacle female princess looks like a tonghu dress, and is deeply favored by the emperor of the tonghu as a rare beauty in the world.

Genji grew up in the palace since he was a child, and got along with the Barnacle Queen, and when he became an adult, he fell in love with the Barnacle Queen, and the two finally fornicated for a while, but afterwards the Barnacle Lady felt deeply guilty.

When Genji was eighteen years old, the Barnacle Lady temporarily returned to her parents' home to recuperate due to a minor illness, and Genji took the opportunity to meet, and the Barnacle Lady found out that she was pregnant before returning to the palace, and was terrified, and gave birth to a prince after the following year.

The baby resembled Genji, but Emperor Kirihu thought it was because of the brother's similarity, and then made the barnacle queen queen.

Many years later, the little prince was established as the crown prince by Emperor Suzaku, that is, the "Emperor Lengquan" in later generations.

At the age of twenty, Genji married the daughter of Minister Zuo, "Aoi Hime", as his wife. Due to his admiration for the barnacle princess, Genji was very cold to Aoi Hime, and soon had an affair with the former prince's widow, "Concubine Rokujo".

Aoi Hime is arrogant by nature, and she can't help but resent Genji in forbearance, and the husband and wife are like strangers. When Genji was twenty-two years old, Emperor Suzaku ascended the throne, and Genji served as a deacon at the Kamo Festival, and Aoi Hime rode into the street to watch, and the attendants recognized the carriage of the six concubines and competed with it, causing the wheel of the six concubines to be damaged.

Concubine Liujo felt that she had been humiliated, so she felt extremely resentful, and unconsciously went out of her body and became a troublemaker.

At this time, Aoi Ji was pregnant, and after the mage calmed the soul, Aoi Ji gave birth to a baby boy, and this baby boy was "Sunset Mist".

Genji recognized the deity when he spoke to the living spirit, and since then he has been estranged from Rokujo. After this catastrophe, Genji cherished Aoihime, and the husband and wife abandoned their previous suspicions, but Aoihime was weak and languishing after giving birth, and died in a short time, Genji was heartbroken, and he felt even more remorseful when he remembered the past. Later, Xiwu went from the official to the position of the left minister.

Although the Barnacle Queen had an affair with Genji, she was remorseful about it and vowed not to do it again, and Genji's love for the Barnacle Queen remained unchanged.

At the age of eighteen, Genji met the niece of the Barnacle Lady in Kitayama by chance, the ten-year-old Shi'er.

Zi'er is the illegitimate daughter of the brother of the barnacle woman, because of the close blood, and the barnacle girl looks similar, and her biological mother lived in Beishan after her death, and was raised by her maternal grandmother.

A few months later, Kitayama's grandmother died, and Genji adopted Zi'er, and five years later, Aoihime died of illness, and Genji and Zi'er secretly married.

However, Genji's concubines have many lovers, so they always make Zihime love and hate, but Genji's love for Zihime is by no means comparable to other concubines.

When Genji was twenty-six years old, he was forced to be exiled to Sumapo due to the "Moonlit Night" incident, and he happened to meet Akashi Hime, and the two fell in love again.

Later, Akashi Hime gave birth to a daughter for Genji, the "Akashi Son-in-law". The son-in-law was carefully raised by Zi Ji, and later entered the palace to marry Jinshang, and was canonized as the queen, called "Queen Akashi".

Finally, when Genji was twenty-eight years old, the crime of rebellion was cleared by the imperial court, so he was ordered to return to Kyoto from Sumaura, and the official title was restored, and he was soon promoted to the position of Minister of the Interior, along with the left and right ministers.

After the following year, Emperor Suzaku abdicated and Emperor Lengquan, and after Emperor Lengquan ascended the throne, the country was politically harmonious and prosperous.

However, the good times did not last long, and two years later, the national epidemic occurred, and the barnacle queen died suddenly of illness, and Genji was devastated when he heard the news.

Genji held a ritual for this purpose, and Emperor Cold Spring specially recalled a senior monk who was a close confidant of the Barnacle Queen, and the senior monk finally told Emperor Cold Spring about a secret relationship between the Barnacle Queen and Genji during the ceremony.

Since then, Emperor Cold Spring has been very respectful to Genji, sometimes it seems to be beyond the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and Genji guessed that Emperor Cold Spring knew his background. Two years later, Emperor Lengsen honored Genji as the minister of the imperial court, presided over the imperial decrees, and later conferred the courtesy of the emperor, and Genji has been a supreme minister since then.

Although Genji had countless romances in his life and had many concubines and lovers, he attached great importance to love and righteousness, and always took care of the women who had fallen in love or befriended.

Concubine Rokujo has an elegant temperament and is full of talent, but she and Genji are in love with each other but have been entangled. After Aoi Hime's death, Genji implicitly mentioned the soul-breaking incident in his letters, and Rokujo felt that she had been disliked, so she decided to accompany her daughter, the new Isesainomiya, to Ise to live a hard life.

Before Sainomiya traveled south, he practiced in Sagano, and Genji went to Sagano Palace in order to bid farewell to the six concubines, sat under the corridor with the six concubines, and talked all night, and the two said goodbye at dawn.

After the abdication of Emperor Suzaku, as usual, Isesainomiya changed her appointment, and Concubine Rokujo returned to Kyoto with Maesai Palace, and Genji still took good care of her.

However, Concubine Rokujo fell seriously ill shortly after returning to Beijing, and before her death, she entrusted the former Sainomiya to Genji, who married the former Sainomiya to Emperor Lengsen, and was canonized as the queen, because Sainomiya was particularly fond of autumn, so she was also called "the good queen of autumn".

After Genji returned to Beijing, he began to build a new house, "Rokujo-in", which was divided into four courtyards: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In addition to this, Harunin is used by Genji and Shihime, Yuki's stepmother Hanazori lives in Natsuin, and Akashi Hime lives in Fuyuin.

Genji placed many women in the old house Nijo To-in Temple, including the ugly Kino's Sueka and the empty cicada that Genji had pursued so hard when he was young.

Moji's dewy marriage with Genji in his early years was deeply touched by Genji's unwavering loyalty even after Genji was demoted.

In her early years, she had stubbornly rejected Genji, and after Genji had stolen into her bedroom, she fled in a hurry, leaving behind a coat that looked like a cicada.

Later, the husband of the empty cicada, Chang Lusuke, died, and the stepson frequently showed love, and the empty cicada was overwhelmed by the disturbance and resolutely became a monk.

Genji fell in love with his cousin Hibihime when he was young, and after Emperor Suzaku ascended the throne, Hihime was appointed to Kamo Saiin, and Genji still showed his affection from time to time.

Although the temple had a love for Genji, he consciously accepted Genji's show of affection, so he was blindly reserved and cold to Genji, and finally vowed not to marry for life.

Genji was helpless about this, but the two kept exchanging letters, talking about the world, and appreciating the four seasons. Eventually, the temple also escaped into the empty door.

In his later years, Genji married the third princess of Suzakuin, and Shihime was very frustrated, and she also took care of the housekeeping of Rokujo-in, and became ill from hard work, so her body became weaker and weaker.

When Genji was forty-five years old, Shihime was haunted by the ghosts of the six concubines, became seriously ill, and died two years later. Zi Ji didn't like autumn scenery in his life, and in his early years, he made fun of poems with Queen Qiuhao, and finally passed away in the autumn wind, and when he died, Queen Akashi was on his side, and he was able to send it off in person.

After the death of the Barnacle Queen and Shihime, Genji suddenly felt infinitely lonely, so he escaped into the mountains, devoted himself to cultivation, and finally disappeared into the mountains.

…………

Lieutenant General Tou, the eldest son of Minister Zuo, the elder brother of Genji's wife, Aoi Hime, and Lieutenant General Tou and Aoi Hime's mother are the sisters of Emperor Kirizu.

Genji's cousin and brother-in-law were born dashing and handsome, no less romantic than Genji, and the two often studied together for learning or entertainment, and got along with each other in a casual manner.

Just as the left minister attaches great importance to Genji, the right minister also loves the head lieutenant general for ten minutes, although the right minister and the left minister are not in harmony, but the four daughters he loves are married to the head lieutenant general, which is really a rare pair of two pairs of sons-in-law in the world.

When Genji was eighteen years old, Emperor Kiritsu Yukiyuki-in held a red leaf celebration, and the two performed a pas de deux dance together, when the autumn leaves were flying, the two were rich and elegant, and the dance was beautiful, and many of the people present were moved to tears, and it was passed down to the future generations as a beautiful talk.

On a rainy night, the lieutenant general mentioned a woman who had a secret relationship, who was born graceful and handsome, but because of his resentment for the lieutenant general's lack of affection, he actually hid his traces, and took away the child born with the head, and the lieutenant general looked everywhere but was never heard from.

When Genji was seventeen years old, he met a beautiful woman in the alley of the market, Yuyan, although the two were in love, neither of them confided their background, and Genji often suspected that Xiyan was the woman who left the head lieutenant general.

The alley where Xiyan lived was very noisy, so Genji placed Xiyan in a quiet house nearby, but unexpectedly, the fox demon caused Xiyan to die that night.

Genji was in pain, so he left Xiyan's maid right near by his side, and was later told by right near that Xiyan was really the woman who left the head lieutenant general, nineteen years old, and had a daughter with the head lieutenant general.

Genji then proposed to the right to adopt the orphan, but the right near to find the orphan failed. Genji was afraid of being cross-examined, and did not inform the head lieutenant general about Xiyan.

Genji and Lieutenant General are evenly matched opponents in all aspects, and they will compete even on the love field, but the relationship between the two is very good.

After Aoi Hime's death, Genji stayed at home, and the head lieutenant often came to chat with Genji to dispel his worries and relieve boredom, but in the end, it was often the two who lamented the changeability of the world and wet their shirts with tears.

After the Suzaku Emperor ascended the throne, the right minister controlled the government, and both of them were unhappy in the officialdom, Genji was closed at home, and the head lieutenant general often came to meet to study poetics or fiddle with string music, and chat to pass the time.

After the Moonlit Night Incident, no one in the court dared to approach Genji, and only the head lieutenant general rushed from Kyoto to Sumapo to visit Genji, and the two talked about the time when they danced together.

After Emperor Lengquan ascended the throne, he was the most favored daughter of the head lieutenant general, Xinhong Hui Palace, and the head lieutenant general was bent on looking forward to standing up and glorifying the court.

But later, the daughter of Concubine Rokujo, Maesai Palace, was sent into the palace by Genji as the maiden of the plum pot, and was deeply favored by Emperor Lengsen.

So the dispute between the plum pot maid and the new Honghui palace maid began to be sealed, and behind the two sides of the competition for favor were the Minister of the Interior Genji and the right minister head lieutenant general.

Eventually, the Plum Teapot Lady was established as the Empress of Akiyo, and Genji and Lieutenant General Tokuchi began to be estranged and secretly opposed.

Seventeen years after Yuyan's death, Youjin met Lieutenant General and Yuyan's daughter, Yuji, by chance, and Genji adopted her as an adopted daughter. After Jade Mane stayed in Rokujo-in, there were many courtships, and after meeting Jade Mane in Cold Spring Temple, he fell in love with her, so Genji prepared to send Jade Mane into the palace as a waiter.

Before entering the palace, Genji informed the head lieutenant general of Jade's life experience, and the head lieutenant general was very moved, and the relationship between the two was eased.

But before entering the palace, the mustache black general actually bought the maid to take the lead, and Genji saw that the mustache black general was both talented and beautiful, so he agreed to the marriage. Jade Mane had fallen in love with Emperor Cold Spring at first sight, but in desperation, he married the black general, and many years later, after repeated pleas of Cold Spring Academy, Jade Mane married his eldest daughter to Cold Spring Academy.

When Genji was the Minister of Taisei, Lieutenant General Touzhong was the Minister of the Interior, and later Genji retired to Rokujo-in Temple with the courtesy of Emperor Taishang, and Lieutenant General Touchi was promoted to Minister of Imperial Justice.

After Emperor Lengquan passed the throne to the present, the head lieutenant general and the minister of the Taizheng also retired, and the general of the beard black was in charge of the decree from then on, and finally the official became the minister of the Taizheng.
